'CAU rejects tape of reporter getting a taste of 'Fear':

Vai Sikahema can swallow almost anything, but apparently WCAU viewers can't.

That's why 'CAU news boss Chris Blackman has decided not to air a tape of Sikahema bravely nibbling horse rectum (we're not making this up) as a promotional stunt for NBC's loathsome Fear Factor.

Sikahema, along with reporters from NBC stations in St. Louis; Seattle; Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Oklahoma City, Okla., sampled it while visiting the Fear set in L.A. in October.

The idea was for the out-of-towners to run their tapes as local teasers for the Jan. 6 episode of Fear, to feature contestants eating the equine organ. For money. (We feel so much better.)

"We watched the tape and decided to go with our gut," says Blackman, a regular laugh riot. "It wasn't particularly appetizing."

Maybe this is why the broadcast numbers are down?

"They pulled out this pot of what looked like animal intestines - big, long, thick and stretching forever. I stood there, wondering what it was."
...
The organ "was awful. Fatty. Chewy. Tasteless. I almost gagged, but I managed to get it down. Had the camera not been rolling, I might have thrown up."
